Here's the thing with this pedal. You know how most OD's have ONE sweet setting? This pedal has every setting that is sweet no matter how you dial it up. AMAZING!
Having been blessed to have recorded thru (2) genuine Dumbles once on a session. This Dude pedal, for a PEDAL Nails much of the 80's Dumble circuit sound. VERY CONVINCING.!!! Great demo Shawn.!!!! Peace.....
Thanks to you and Chris for doing great demos of this pedal. I own an original KLON and a few other so called DUMBLE PEDALS!! My Les Paul into a Fender Amp with this pedal finally sounds the way I hear it in my head. Great pedal. Diggin' it!
I paused Pixels to watch this totally worth it. Haha! This thing sounds great and clean with good voicing options, especially for a low gain pedal. Probably your best song yet, man, with great Robben Ford-esque snap!
As always, you give the most comprehensive demo's. I really like the way you showcased various musical styles where this pedal can work. Dumble-esque flavored pedals do get pigeon holed and this pedal indeed can go more directions tonally. Lastly, everytime I watch you play, it makes me want to practice! If only I could add 10% of your skills ...I would be happy!!
Very well done. I recently purchased The Dude and it is a great versatile pedal. I play Strats and an LP Traditional through a Fender Blues Jr III, or a Peavey Delta Blues 115 or a Peavey JSX 412 half stack. This pedal lets me play much cleaner while still getting the sustain and punch I'm looking for.
Loved the bite it does everytime you pick the notes on a humbucker guitar. Seems to be that pedal that you can leave turned on all day long, and it will bright and hair up your signal chain, like EP booster, for example.
Um, dude. I need lessons on your scale choices because your improvisation is absolutely out of this world! I'm going to be watching your videos regardless of the product, just so I can try and steal some licks! Absolutely phenomenal man.
+MrLespaul2000 I did and apparently he refused. IF you happen to be at the NAMM show in LA that guitar is in the Rockett Pedals booth! He'll let you play it!
Step upwards it's 2017, Shawn the Gibson and PRS. I wish that they made as many left handed guitars as they did right handed. When you describe the pedals it helps place this info into perspective. The Dude pedal if this is a Dumble esk sound then Dumble Amps are truly the tone I have been looking for but we seem to be talking tens of thousands of dollars if you can get your hands on one. I love that PRS McCarty tight bottom end nice mids and light top end. And that Shur Amp and Divided by 13 Amp it reminds me of the late 70's amps. Big Ballsy and very tight AC/DC it has this tone not over the top but gain structure that is so sweet. Thanks for the demo and keep them coming.
Man Shawn, great video! Thanks for the extensive review. I've been looking for "The Tone" for playing with my strat. I think the Dude is the one. I've subscribed btw!
I just noticed a pair of 20/20's on Auralex pads...had to do a double take to make sure what I was listening was still sitting there! You don't look that old...LOL! Bought my 20/20's 23 years ago!
Shawn- don't know if you;re still responding to such an ancient demo but I'm giving it a shot. Just listened to your Archer IKON demo. I'm seriously torn between getting The Dude or the IKON. LP & Strat thru a DSL 40. No hard rock or Metal. Classic rock, I guess. Appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
Oh man nice slide sound! Does the Lindley thing justice. That may have swayed me to buy this pedal. I hate picking just one "Dumble" pedal but they're kind of expensive. This one looks appealing because it apparently has the most gain on tap.
+JJ JJ Hi there thanks! I actually do play without a pick a bit. Check our the XTS Winford, Visual Sound VS-XO and Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde demo songs!
bitchen video brutha, nice TG2 pres ive got those . Im thinking of getting a nice overdrive pedal, How do you think this compares to the fulltone ocd or vodoo sparkle drive. thanks again peace
I just bought one of these today, great review. I'm a LP guy mostly and have a few PRS guitars including a SC58.....but your MC58 😳 is absolutely beautiful. Is that a private stock version or standard?
Steely Dan-esque, the playing AND the tone, but with a name like 'The Dude', should I feel a bit of uneasiness hearing a bit of the Eagles in there, too?
+Shawn Tubbs I wish I had one locally to try out. Seems like an excellent pedal and would pair nicely with my Archer. Would you say this pedal compresses the attack transient a bit? Kind of hard to tell without playing one. I like how my Archer has a fast response. Something like a King of Tone has a similar thing in the compression vs like a Blues Driver or a Tube Screamer, which feels like it kind of compress that initial attack of the note to me.
+McSoappy Yeah that's not my Les Paul. It belongs to Chris Van Tassel of Rockett Pedals. It's got Lollar Low wind Imperials in it that sound pretty nice. I've had that D13 FTR 37 for a long time now. It's one of the best amps I own.
I'm playing a PRS McCarty with 57/08 through a Fender Blues Jr or Hotrod DeVille. What settings help me have a good controlled distortion without too mud or to much harshness?
Nice, sounds great, nice video edits and great playing as usual! mind if I ask if you tried the pedal Into the suhr badger? I'm just wondering does the pedal work with a more British sounding amp.
It really just depends on what you're after. The Tumnus Deluxe is based on a Klon Circuit. It's going to be less compressed and has that classic Klon mid-bite. The Dude is based on a Dumble ODS, specifically Robben Ford's Dumble ODS. It has a slightly more compressed feel, fat mids, and a smoother overdrive tone. Both are great pedals.
Hey Shawn, great demo as always. Quick question...I use my 'archer' as an always on boost. I'm thinking about purchasing 'the dude' and use it as an overdrive. Have you tried the 'archer' with' the dude' at the same time? If so, how did you make out?
Does this pedal play nicely with Strats and Teles? Any pedal I buy has to work well with Gibson type as well as Fender type guitars. Thanks! Great demo for those Gibson type guitars, btw.

One man's demo, another man's worth of 6 months of lessons..., time to hit that half-speed button...
Hahaha...Thanks Gerry! I think I'm gonna start doing Skype coaching soon.
More like years for me. Yeah, he is an incredible player.
Here's the thing with this pedal. You know how most OD's have ONE sweet setting? This pedal has every setting that is sweet no matter how you dial it up. AMAZING!
My two favourite players on TH-cam Shawn and Pete Thorn these guys are ridiculously talented and inspiring guitarists
Thanks very much Tom!!
I'm seriously addicted to this pedal,it's taken over my board and the tube screamers have fallen by the way side
Shawn is a recent discovery for me. I can't stop watching and listening to such an awesome player.
Having been blessed to have recorded thru (2) genuine Dumbles once on a session. This Dude pedal, for a PEDAL Nails much of the 80's Dumble circuit sound. VERY CONVINCING.!!! Great demo Shawn.!!!! Peace.....
You are blessed indeed to have played and recorded the real deal!!! Thanks Vic!
Thanks to you and Chris for doing great demos of this pedal. I own an original KLON and a few other so called DUMBLE PEDALS!! My Les Paul into a Fender Amp with this pedal finally sounds the way I hear it in my head. Great pedal. Diggin' it!
“Dude” ... you are sooooooo good. Great vids!
I paused Pixels to watch this totally worth it. Haha! This thing sounds great and clean with good voicing options, especially for a low gain pedal. Probably your best song yet, man, with great Robben Ford-esque snap!
+tonepoet Thanks so much! RF is the man!
Simply great tone and super playing!
Man you rip it. Thanks for all of your hard work and great demos
always great and honest demo's love the way you tune the pedal to any style
+prsfrank Thanks so much!
Great demo and DAYMN! you have some serious chops
Killer playing and tone, Shawn. Color me a fan sir. Gotta get me a Dude. What a second....
Great, Great Demo! You really know what guitarists want to hear. Thanks!
Great job ,wicked tone and fantastic playing :)
That PRS might just be the most beautiful guitar I think I've ever seen.
You nailed it again!
As always, you give the most comprehensive demo's. I really like the way you showcased various musical styles where this pedal can work. Dumble-esque flavored pedals do get pigeon holed and this pedal indeed can go more directions tonally. Lastly, everytime I watch you play, it makes me want to practice! If only I could add 10% of your skills ...I would be happy!!
Thanks Gary I really appreciate it!
Dude with the les paul you EXACTLY sounded like Robben Ford. Apart from time it was also the style ofc, but I tell you SPOT ON
pretty sure i'm going to buy this one. From what I've heard it sound like one of the best overdrive pedals. especially at low gain.
Yeah I think it's a keeper! Glad you dig it!
You are the man Shawn, these demos are astounding..
I just discovered your review, but I like how you explain the controls. It sounds like you actually know a little bit of what you're talking about!
;) thanks very much!
"It's feeling really Chewy"... agreed.
I've had mine for s couple weeks. Killer pedal. Great video as always Shawn.
Man !
You sir is such a badass!
Great demo and pedal! :)
+Crippe Johansson Thanks very much!
Holy Duck awesome playing & tone
Very well done. I recently purchased The Dude and it is a great versatile pedal. I play Strats and an LP Traditional through a Fender Blues Jr III, or a Peavey Delta Blues 115 or a Peavey JSX 412 half stack. This pedal lets me play much cleaner while still getting the sustain and punch I'm looking for.
Great job on that Shawn. Love your vids man. SOLD!
Stellar chart at the start. Fantastic playing.
Loved the bite it does everytime you pick the notes on a humbucker guitar. Seems to be that pedal that you can leave turned on all day long, and it will bright and hair up your signal chain, like EP booster, for example.
Very nice guitar, great playing and great tone. I need this pedal.
Um, dude. I need lessons on your scale choices because your improvisation is absolutely out of this world! I'm going to be watching your videos regardless of the product, just so I can try and steal some licks! Absolutely phenomenal man.
Thanks so much man!
Truly the best FEELING pedal I own!
Jesus that Les Paul sounds awesome! nice playing as always Mr. Tubbs
+MrLespaul2000 Thanks man! That Les Paul is actually owned by a friend of mine. It's a killer R9.
I think you should make him an offer he can't refuse Shawn
Offer
+MrLespaul2000 I did and apparently he refused. IF you happen to be at the NAMM show in LA that guitar is in the Rockett Pedals booth! He'll let you play it!
+Shawn Tubbs I'd love to go there sadly I'm a little bit too far away ....UK
That prs is amazingly nice
Man I adore the intro groove for this video man!!! I WISH I could play like that :)
Step upwards it's 2017, Shawn the Gibson and PRS. I wish that they made as many left handed guitars as they did right handed. When you describe the pedals it helps place this info into perspective.

Thanks so much and thanks for tuning in!
Really digging your demos and playing man! Tasty like a coke and BBQ wings!!!
+Camilo Velandia Thanks very much Camilo! I appreciate it!
Man Shawn, great video! Thanks for the extensive review. I've been looking for "The Tone" for playing with my strat. I think the Dude is the one. I've subscribed btw!
Thanks so much for watching and for subscribing!!
Man, if that Ratio could be controlled with an expression pedal it would be killer!
Amazing playing skills😍😍😍😍😍
Wish I still had my Duesy...
Oh, and some really cool video edits there Shawn!
+Realfi Well if it makes you feel any better...That doozy isn't mine...I miss mine too.
+Shawn Tubbs :-(
damn. solid playing again!
So good! You've been missed!
That intro tune was killer!
Thanks so much!!! I appreciate it.
Awesome playing and tone Shawn, just found you out yestersay!
Thanks Shawn, it was a very good review of the pedal.
Such nice playing on this demo... man.
I really enjoyed your playing! Very inspiring.
+Rich Kearns Thanks so much!
Very robben fordesque playing - lovely
+Alex Fixsen Thanks Alex!
excellent demo
+M jones Thanks so much!
nice groove. hairs looking good bro!
+dre brose can u do a studio tour soon?
A Doozy through a Dude - its what guitars are supposed to do, "Chewy" is a great description
I just noticed a pair of 20/20's on Auralex pads...had to do a double take to make sure what I was listening was still sitting there! You don't look that old...LOL! Bought my 20/20's 23 years ago!
My brother gave me those 20/20's a little over 20 years ago. Great sounding monitors! I've only just replaced them with a set of KRK's.
Glad I found your channel, excellent review!
Thanks so much!
That lick at 1:38 gets me every time. I need to transcribe that one.
+After Osmosis - sounds like a Drew Zingg lick, really cool.
+After Osmosis Yes ,please do.
I like the half bend on the rest
Melodic minor.
/*sigh* /You did it again, Shawn.... i'm gonna buy another Rockett pedal. My savings account hates you!
Hahaha that's funny, his burst of notes made me blue cause I can play that good. I believe some jello will cheer me up. GOD bless.
Holy playing, Batman!
Great demo...ordered the Dude today!
Awesome!!! Thanks!
Awesome tone, dude! ;)
Thanks man!
Great playing ! Gonna have to steal some licks
Thanks man!
Shawn- don't know if you;re still responding to such an ancient demo but I'm giving it a shot.
Just listened to your Archer IKON demo.
I'm seriously torn between getting The Dude or the IKON.
LP & Strat thru a DSL 40. No hard rock or Metal. Classic rock, I guess.
Appreciate your feedback.
Thank you.
If I could only choose one between the IKON and the DUDE, I'd go with the IKON.
@@ShawnTubbs Much obliged Shawn. Thank you.
Oh man nice slide sound! Does the Lindley thing justice. That may have swayed me to buy this pedal. I hate picking just one "Dumble" pedal but they're kind of expensive. This one looks appealing because it apparently has the most gain on tap.
Yeah I prefer this one over the rest. Thanks Jasper.
This guy would make a $50 OD pedal sound awesome! Cool pedal though
i took the bait and bought in 2020. killer tone bros
Oh my goodness... Do you have any music for sale for download? Your playing is flat-out amazing.
What a great lesson. Thanks man.
+Stan Lindert Nice when you can get something out of a demo.
Nice playing man and great tone.
Do you ever play without a pick?
+JJ JJ Hi there thanks! I actually do play without a pick a bit. Check our the XTS Winford, Visual Sound VS-XO and Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde demo songs!
Hey Shawn! Don't mean to be a huge nerd here but what is that exotic scale you play at the beginning? Great vids by the way
Hey Brandon thanks very much man. That tonality is based on a G7b5add13 chord. That's all I know man....;)
Shawn Tubbs sick man thanks!
Very tasty playing!
Thanks very much!
bitchen video brutha, nice TG2 pres ive got those . Im thinking of getting a nice overdrive pedal, How do you think this compares to the fulltone ocd or vodoo sparkle drive. thanks again peace
Love it!!
I just bought one of these today, great review. I'm a LP guy mostly and have a few PRS guitars including a SC58.....but your MC58 😳 is absolutely beautiful. Is that a private stock version or standard?
Nice demo Shawn. We're fb friends. I'm incognito.
Haha. Right on.
Hi Shawn, Do you have a lesson site/channel ? ta
Sean, off topic and this video is dated, but is that an eleven rack you have in Your desk rack behind you? How do you use that?
Great guitar player!!!
Steely Dan-esque, the playing AND the tone, but with a name like 'The Dude', should I feel a bit of uneasiness hearing a bit of the Eagles in there, too?
Very tasteful soloing. Is the backing track something you put together or is it a downloadable jam track?
Thanks man! The back track is mine:)
Thanks man! The backing track is mine.
good demo and explanation
Thanks very much!
Hi Shawn, I just got one and I’m wondering how would you use it, in front of a Pettyjohn Chime or after it and why. Thanks buddy, loving your videos!
playing is so incredibly tasty! Makes me wonder how in the world this video has thumbs downs...
Try the Archer into the Dude yet? Great demo and fabulous playing as always. Was waiting for this one
+Jake Stewart Music Haven't tried it yet. I would think it would be pretty killer.
+Shawn Tubbs I wish I had one locally to try out. Seems like an excellent pedal and would pair nicely with my Archer. Would you say this pedal compresses the attack transient a bit? Kind of hard to tell without playing one. I like how my Archer has a fast response. Something like a King of Tone has a similar thing in the compression vs like a Blues Driver or a Tube Screamer, which feels like it kind of compress that initial attack of the note to me.
+Jake Stewart Music Yeah this pedal won't be as immediate as the Archer but its not overly compressed feeling.
+Shawn Tubbs Cool, definitely sounds like it's worth checking out. Thanks man
you are the best
That Les Paul tone with the gain up is amazing man! What is the model of the /13 you're playing?
+McSoappy Yeah that's not my Les Paul. It belongs to Chris Van Tassel of Rockett Pedals. It's got Lollar Low wind Imperials in it that sound pretty nice. I've had that D13 FTR 37 for a long time now. It's one of the best amps I own.
Just wondering how would it siund if anTS9 pushes it. Awesome playing man!
Thanks very much man. I would think a TS9 dialed with lower gain would work well in front.
I'm playing a PRS McCarty with 57/08 through a Fender Blues Jr or Hotrod DeVille. What settings help me have a good controlled distortion without too mud or to much harshness?
Nice, sounds great, nice video edits and great playing as usual!
mind if I ask if you tried the pedal
Into the suhr badger? I'm just wondering does the pedal work with a more British sounding amp.
+Tadhg McDonnell-leahy I haven't cranked it though my Badger yet. I'm sure it will sound great.
pure groove
right on man. !
Great demo! If you had to choose between the Dude and the Tumnus deluxe which one would you decide on?
It really just depends on what you're after. The Tumnus Deluxe is based on a Klon Circuit. It's going to be less compressed and has that classic Klon mid-bite. The Dude is based on a Dumble ODS, specifically Robben Ford's Dumble ODS. It has a slightly more compressed feel, fat mids, and a smoother overdrive tone. Both are great pedals.
Hello Shawn.. another awesome video ..hey I have a question. What kind of drum software do you use for your tracks? Sounds great!
Thanks man. I use Easy Drummer by Toontracks.
Thanks for sharing Shawn :-)
Hey Shawn, great demo as always. Quick question...I use my 'archer' as an always on boost. I'm thinking about purchasing 'the dude' and use it as an overdrive. Have you tried the 'archer' with' the dude' at the same time? If so, how did you make out?
+Earl00001 Hey There. I would think it would work quite well!
+Shawn Tubbs Cool, I might try it out. Thanks
Yes , yes , yes ,yes.....ect...
Is the %13 cab open or closed back? Great sounding demo as usual!
+Telepick2 The D13 cab seen in the vid is an open back but I'm using a Suhr 1x12 closed with a V30 for the demo. Thanks!
Does this pedal play nicely with Strats and Teles? Any pedal I buy has to work well with Gibson type as well as Fender type guitars. Thanks! Great demo for those Gibson type guitars, btw.
+Brad Dietz Yeah it will work fine with single coil pickups ranging from Strat to P90s.
Please - what can are you using? Thanks
I can't pass this up. DUDE!!!
Really comprehensive, well done video. Killer pedal except for the black on black knobs...not real stage friendly. Just a little swaperoo...
Yeah for sure. Blood red knobs would be cool. Thanks Bobby!
